President Xi Jinping says he will uphold climate change agreement amid fears U.S. may pull out of pact.

UN climate negotiators in Bonn were left frustrated on Tuesday as the White House postponed a meeting to determine whether the United States will stay in the 196-nation Paris Agreement to curb planet-harming fossil fuels.

Xi told Macron that both China and France should "protect the global governance achievements contained within the Paris Agreement on climate change", according to a statement by the China's foreign ministry.

Mr Trump, who has described climate change as a "hoax" perpetrated by China, has yet to announce whether he intends keeping a campaign promise to withdraw Washington from the Paris Agreement.

Many nations want Trump to remain in the agreement, which is meant to rein in rising world temperatures by shifting towards cleaner energies such as wind and solar power, even though he plans to bolster the U.S. coal industry.

For US allies, Trump's wavering has uncomfortable echoes of President George W. Bush's decision to withdraw from the 1992 Kyoto Protocol.

Spicer also said that Trump had been meeting with his team "extensively" to discuss the issue.
